Would love to finally meet you all but have to work all week. Normally only weekends would suit but even THEY are booked up until after easter with a wedding, interstate guests, puppies etc.
Maybe next time.
I would be interested in one or two of my vizslas doing therapy - beautiful temperaments and have always thought they'd be perfect in PAT. Keep us posted with regards to this.
Hi Munchin - YOU must be the person driving the maroon wagon with 2 DOL stickers on the back! Please say it is you - Pandii is going out of her MIND trying to work out who it is!
Many years ago I used to date a girl who volunteered at the RSPCA shelter here and at that time there was only one paid member of staff - the manager. All others were voluntary. I used to clip desperate dogs for them for free to help as none of the staff had any experience with this. (For those who don't know me: I opened the "Doggy Heaven" grooming salon on Fairy street MANY years ago but sold it when I went to W.A.)
I agree - they should have more bags/bins around town. It might encourage people to clean up after their dogs!
As far as reg fees go, I think I heard $80 also. No excuse for a lack of bags/bins then!
Sorry tlc - didn't see the article (I don't read the 'sub-standard' often) but heard this week on 3YB's 'Vet Talk' that reg fees are increasing GREATLY but desexed dog reg fees will stay the same. Doesn't help me as a breeder!!!
I assume this will take effect from July 1st.
ETA - Luckily they only know about two of mine!
I was behind a DOLer this morning while dropping the kids off at school on my way to work. Do any of you drive a burgandy ford wagon with DOL stickers? Or is there another DOLer around here we don't know about? :rolleyes:
I was behind you in the white 4X4 with DOL/Vizsla stickers on!
By the way, any Warrnambool DOLers have a large heated/unheated whelping box they might be prepared to hire out in May?
We built our last one but dismantled it when we were done because it was HUGE and a pain to store! I only have a litter every couple of years so can't justify buying one - especially as I move thm out into kennels quite young weather permitting.
It IS a small world - Until recently I lived just around the corner ON Whites Rd!
I'm sure you've sen my dogs 'russet noses' watching you from under the gate!
I live on Garden street (near Brierly) but usually go to Killarney beach a few times a week with my lot. I normally go right to the end of the track off Mahoneys Rd, past the boat ramp to the end - hardly ever run into anyone there.
There is another vizsla breeder in Warrnambool (believe it or not!) and she sometimes goes to Killarney.
Anyone else get down there? Might be a good spot to meet some time.
Yeah I would be up for some 'show training'.
Exhibited my vizslas for years but am getting back into showing after a loooong break.
Probably need to brush up on some skills!
This thread is a photo and chat thread for DOLers in Warrnambool and surrounds
and is rarely used as a social events organizer.
Those with dial-up internet connection need to be aware that it is photo intensive.
